Man United are ‘in talks’ with Bayern Munich over potentially signing defender Matthijs de Ligt.
The Red Devils are keen to strengthen their backline after conceding 58 goals in the Premier League last season – the most they have allowed in a single campaign since 1971.
The club, whose interest in the 24-year-old first emerged last week, have moved quickly to try and complete a deal, with Dutch outlet De Telegraaf claiming that the centre-back has been offered a five-year contract at Old Trafford.
Man United have also ‘opened formal discussions’ about a transfer with Bayern in the meantime, according to The Athletic.
